  • BACKPLATE ELECTRODE SENSOR
    Publication number: 20140104184
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for electromechanical systems (EMS) device packages having integrated sensors. In one aspect, electrodes within a packaged EMS device can be used in conjunction with an electrode disposed on another substrate within the EMS device package to form one or more capacitive sensors. The capacitive sensor may be used to determine the relative deformation of substrates within the EMS device package, which can in turn be used as part of a pressure, touch, mass, or impact measuring system.
